Find setup guidance for a private integration question

Give a setup question a clear documentation trail, even when it arrives as a quick message between other tasks.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

Query-docs

Retrieves and queries up-to-date documentation and code examples from Context7 for any programming library or framework. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best information you have.

Why this helps

A private setup question can linger because finding the correct library's getting-started instructions takes time.

  • Look up setup guidance for the library named in the DM.
  • Bring back relevant documentation and code examples.
  • Make the next action easier to identify.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Context7 MCP to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language prompt to query Context7 setup docs when a DM asks how to configure a named library.
  • 3Select Direct Message Received and choose where to report runs.
  • 4Test with a real setup question in a Slack DM.

Questions about this workflow

Will it know which integration the message means?

The prompt should use package names and context from the DM, resolving the library ID before the docs query.

Can I use this for setup questions from any library?

Yes, when Context7 can resolve the library and has useful documentation for it.

Resolve-library-id

Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns matching libraries. You MUST call this function before 'query-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query. Selection Process: 1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for 2. Return the most relevant match based on: - Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized) - Description relevance to the query's intent - Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts) - Source reputation (consider libraries with High or Medium reputation more authoritative) - Benchmark Score: Quality indicator (100 is the highest score) Response Format: - Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section - Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen - If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one - If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match. IMPORTANT: Do not call this tool more than 3 times per question. If you cannot find what you need after 3 calls, use the best result you have.
